# DirectX 8 to 9 wrapper
|
|
Source: https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9
|
|
|
|
Includes:
|
|
* d3d8.dll (compiled binary)
|
|
* Source code for compiled binary
|
|
|
|
# Why?
|
|
Some Konami games are quite old and don't run well on modern versions of Windows (7 and newer):
|
|
* Framerate is not locked to v-sync though v-sync is turned on
|
|
* Random stuttering and slow-downs
|
|
|
|
Games with these issues experienced thus far:
|
|
* IIDX 9 to 13: Even with bemanitools various settings in place, these games would not run flawlessly on Windows 10: Random stuttering in menus and during songs causing them to drift off-sync though the framerate was supposed to be stable.
|
|
|
|
# Install
|
|
* Requires the D3D9 SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109
|
|
* Put the d3d8.dll next to your game executable.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
* IIDX: Put d3d8.dll next to bm2dx.exe.
